The ATSDR ToxFAQs™ is a series of summaries about hazardous substances
developed by the ATSDR Division of Toxicology. Information for this series is
excerpted from the ATSDR Toxicological Profiles and Public Health Statements.
Each fact sheet serves as a quick and easy to understand guide. Answers are
provided to the most frequently asked questions (FAQs) about exposure to
hazardous substances found around hazardous waste sites and the effects of
exposure on human health.

Each ToxFAQs™ is available in both the standard HTML format below
or in the PDF format which provides the familiar two page print
version widely used at community meetings and distributed via our
mailing list. This PDF format requires
Adobe Acrobat Reader, which can be downloaded free from the Adobe web site.

You can get further information on our web site about all the ATSDR
Toxicological Profiles and how they are developed. You can also get a longer
version of these ToxFAQs™ , called the Public Health Statements, from the
Public Health Statements (PHS) home page as well as from
each of the ToxFAQs™ links below.

ATSDR can tell you where to find occupational and environmental
health clinics. Specialists in these clinics can recognize,
evaluate, and treat illnesses resulting from exposure to hazardous
substances. You can also contact your community or state health or
environmental quality department if you have any more questions or
concerns.
